A Weekend to Relax

Friday evening,
guess what finally arrived?! My beloved
red dress that I had wanted to wear to the ball last weekend. Only a week too late. I decided to go ahead and try it on, and you
guys, it is stunning. Mine was just a
bit too tight, so I’m not sure if I would have worn it or not, but for free
exchanges and for this price, you better believe I’m exchanging it for a larger
size and finding some other event to wear it for! And on a side note, if you ever order
anything from Shein.com, be sure to order not one, but two sizes up! Sheesh.
I’m typically a small, but I ordered this red dress in medium, and I’ll
be exchanging it for the large. That is
just crazy.

The weather
decided to turn cold and dreary Friday and I’ve been fighting a cold all week,
so we stayed in. B picked up a pizza, we
poured some wine, and then we snuggled on the couch with the babies and watched
Masha and the Bear. Have you guys ever
seen it? It’s on Netflix and our kids love it.
After the babies went to bed, B and I watched another episode of The OA
and another episode of GG. We’re
trucking right along and still loving both!

Saturday morning
B had tennis, but not before picking up donuts and coffee!! I snuggled on the couch with the babies while I finished my coffee, and then I took the rest of the morning to clean out Olivia’s bedroom. She was long overdue for a purging… she still
had some 18 months clothes in her closet, so I guess it’s been about a year and
a half since I last went through her clothes.
I sorted them into donate, keepsake, and sell piles, and then I also
cleaned out all of her old baby items that we no longer need. Bye bye Pack N Play, changing table pad,
bibs, and receiving blankets! It felt
great to get it all cleaned out, but man, is it sad to see all of the baby
things slowly making their exit from our house.
:o(

The Before... EEEEK!

We also worked
on a little photo shoot for one of our favorite products. You can see more info on my Instagram page.

Several people
have recently asked how it’s going with Olivia and her sleeping in her new
bed. Well, let me just sum it up for you
right here:

Yep, she’s
still trying to escape some of the time, and Saturday afternoon was no
exception. B had to go sit with her and
it turns out that he just wanted to take a little nap, too. Apparently tennis wears you out when you’re
almost 39. ;o)

Saturday evening
was church and then dinner with my parents at our favorite barbecue joint, and
then cozying up by the fire for more TV until it was time to Nyquil myself and
say goodnight.

Sunday we spent
the early afternoon with B’s family for lunch.
Unfortunately it was rainy and yucky so the kids weren’t able to get out
in the yard for some fresh air. Instead,
they took to tearing around Nana and Poppie’s house like little banshees.

Sunday evening
we went over to my grandmother’s house because she hosted a Super Bowl
party. We pull for the Falcons, and when
they’re finally in the Super Bowl, you have to go all out to celebrate! We spent the evening sipping on Strawberry Limeade Margaritas that Lily posted the other day, and enjoying all of the food,
football, commercials, and family time.

Sounds like an awesome weekend!! Hope your feeling better this week! Oh my gosh...that red dress! love! It does feel so good to clean everything out!! I still can't believe the Falcons lost after that big of a lead!!

I love that red dress - I definitely would order the other size and keep it. Just so pretty! You did some damage in Olivia's room on Saturday - that's impressive. It almost got me motivated to clean mine out when I saw it on insta. :)

Everyone looking so spectacular in their red!! You rocked that red dress, love the sleeves!! Love a good clean out!!! Great feeling!!! Here's hoping your week ahead is sweet and smooth and everyone is full of smiles!!

Yay for your weekend! Oh my gosh, that dress. Forget about waiting to wear it... Heck, you should wear that dress to the grocery store! It's beautiful! I agree, it feels soooo good to purge. Especially in the kiddos' rooms. Sidenote - I've always wondered what Olivia's closet looks like. I'm in the middle of re-organizing Eliza's closet since she changes her outfit at least three times a day. :0. Oh and one more thing - I can't wait for your link-up!! I know it's from Friday, but I just wanted to tell you that I'm soooo excited to link-up with all of you amazing ladies!!! Eek! Can't wait!!!

Hungover, lololol! That dress is amazing on you and you are anything but large. So crazy when sizes are so off like that. I NEED to purge the girls rooms but have zero motivation to do so. I am thinking I may hold off until spring when I can open some windows up. I hate being cooped up in their rooms in the midst of the mess.

What a great weekend, minus the fighting off the cold (because who has time for that). That dress is so beautiful and I am sure you will find some places to wear it. I have been purging all the things as well and it feels SO GOOD! Have a great week!

I LOVE that red dress, it's so cute and would be perfect for a Valentine's Date Night...if the exchange comes in on time...! What a hassle! Girl, I was so sad about last nights loss...sigh! I hope you guys liked the margaritas! They are SO refreshing, I know they will be a staple come summertime! Thanks for the shoutout! :) xo, LilyBeauty With Lily﻿

Love that dress. So crazy that you have to order two sizes up. I would definitely get a larger one because it is perfect on you. I now have a cold as well. My throat is pretty rough....just as the girls are getting better. I hope you feel better soon. I was rooting for the Falcons yesterday. so sad they lost. Have a great week!

That red dress is perfection on you! You look fabulous and purging the kids closets is super nice, but then sad that they are growing too fast! I love Olivia's polka dot scarf and red knit dress, so darn cute.

I agree with everyone else - you rock that dress!! I could never pull that off! haha!!! I always love love love your outfit selfies with your daughter. You take them well and dress both of you in the sweetest coordinating stuff!

That red dress is so pretty! Mine finally arrived yesterday! I don't know if I will keep it considering the wedding I wanted it for has come and gone :-( So sad to see the baby stuff, go but isn't it so nice to free up space. Those baby items take up SO MUCH! Hope your week is off to a great start!

Oh wow! That red dress is gorgeous and looks amazing on you. Dying over that picture of Olivia and Daddy sleeping! So cute. Looks like you guys had a wonderful weekend and you always capture the cutest pictures!

I love your dress!! I need to check out that website. I am not looking forward to the next room update for my girls, it is going to be a huge mess around our house for at least a few days. But Olivia's room is so cute!
